    About

    6th December 2025 - 21st December 2025

    Santa and his Railway Helpers invite you to get Christmas off to a magical start by riding Santa’s festive steam train, through the delightful Derwent Valley. Join them on their special train at Peak Rail from Rowsley South Station. As you sit back and enjoy the journey, a variety of professional entertainers will perform for you, Santa and his helpers will make their way through the train and meet everyone at their seat. Santa will have with him a wonderful age suitable gift for all the children. Children will receive a drink and snack each, whilst Adults can sit back and enjoy a glass of wine and a mince pie (Dietary requirements can be catered for and bottle of water/juice available upon pre-booked request.)

    Due to limited space and safety reasons we can only accommodate the specified number of passengers per table/compartment as stated on the booking. The only exception to this is the option for Children aged 0-18 Months sat on a knee, up to a maximum of 2 per Table/Compartment.

    Due to limited space on the train, only assistance dogs are allowed on the train.

    We regret that due to the historic nature of the carriages, we are unable to accommodate wheelchair users in any other carriages other than the wheelchair accessible space in coach F. In this space we can accommodate one party of up to two people plus one wheelchair user on each train, please contact us directly at santa@peakrail.co.uk or call us on 07514 953 353 if you need further information. Please be aware that due to being a volunteer run organisation, we may not always be able to answer the phone, if so please leave a message and we will get back to you.

    Trains will depart in December on:

    Saturdays: 6th, 13th & 20th

    Sundays: 7th, 14th & 21st
